Let me tell you about June 24th, 2019. Somewhere around 10am my phone started blowing up with New Follower notifications on Twitter. I assumed another spambot had set its algorithmic sights on the Delisted Games account but a good friend of mine was the one who pointed out the news shortly after. Delisted Games has

Neverwinter and Operation7 shutting down in Asian regions
Thanks again to friend of the site, FallenRyan, for the tip on a pair of Asia-specific server closures happening soon! Most immediate is Neverwinter, the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC MMO whose Hong Kong servers will be shutting down in 10 days on June 27th. The game’s PlayStation Store page offers only the simplest
Minecraft: Story Mode reappears on Xbox 360 at $100 per episode
The Telltale Games saga just continues to get stranger. As of May 31st all digital versions of the Minecraft: Story Mode series were confirmed delisted worldwide with the ability to re-download previous purchases being removed on June 25th. That’s a respectable window to allow owners a chance to download all their purchased content but an
Ninja Turtle arcade titles return from Arcade1Up
I sure wasn’t expecting any delisted news to come out of E3, especially not the return of one of our most often-lamented losses: the 1989 arcade brawler Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! Of course, it isn’t coming back in the most affordable package ever but later this year you will technically and legally be able to
Naughty Dog’s PlayStation 3 Multiplayer modes ending September 3rd
Online multiplayer in Uncharted 2 has been such a long-supported feature that I — even being the one running this very site — honestly forgot that it would ever have to end! But as with all things digital, time won’t last forever and the day has come for Naughty Dog to announce the end of
Tetris Online shutdown sees several web-based titles delisted
Like clearing 4 lines in one drop, a whole lot of Tetris has disappeared from the web. Tetris Online Inc., the online licensee of the Tetris brand across the Western world, shut down on June 1st after thirteen years in operation. The company was founded by some heavy hitters including Tetris creator Alexey Pajitnov, Tetris
Delisted 2009 Ghostbusters game returns in 2019 Remaster
There’s something strange in our neighborhood with the surprise announcement today of Ghostbusters: The Video Game Remastered. The 2009 title starring the original motion picture cast was delisted from Steam in 2017 but this news doesn’t mean that its resurrection is at hand. While the initial announcement was made on the PlayStation Blog by Saber
Japanese Indie title Croixleur Sigma leaves Steam on June 1st
Nyu Media, purveyors of Japanese indie PC titles, announced a sad but fond farewell to one of their releases today. The “high speed hack-and-slash action game” Croixleur Sigma will be removed from Steam (as well as sites like Humble Bundle, Gamersgate, and Rice Digital) on June 1st. Why? Nyu’s license to the game has ended
DC Universe Online coming to Switch, delisting dread averted!
I couldn’t help but wonder how much longer Daybreak Game Company might last after the past few years of delistings and server shutdowns. We lost PlanetSide and Legends of Norrath in 2016, Landmark in 2017, and Just Survive last October. Knowing nothing else about the company’s financials or player base, it looked like things might
All Telltale Games titles leaving GOG.com on May 27th
UPDATE [05/23/19]: Telltale’s Bone titles and Tales from the Borderlands have already been removed from Steam today. GOG.com Team member Chandra broke the bad news in a forum post this morning that all remaining Telltale Games titles will be removed from the DRM-free service next Monday, May 27th. The below titles will be joining other
Razer shuting down Ouya, Forge TV, MOJO services on June 25th
In a rather unceremonious fashion Razer, who acquired Ouya’s staff and library of titles in 2015, has confirmed that online services and storefronts for the Ouya, as well as the Android-based Forge TV and the MadCatz MOJO will be shut down on June 25th, 2019. The Razer support page is appreciably flush with answers but
Minecraft: Story Mode delisted on Steam, leaving GOG.com on May 3rd
Another Telltale Games title joins the site this week in the aftermath of the company’s 2018 closure. Minecraft: Story Mode was delisted from Steam on April 29th and according to a GOG.com forum post, it’ll be removed from the good ol’ service on May 3rd at 10am UTC. The post cites expired licensing from Minecraft
